As a police officer, your going to be dealing with mostly the negative aspects of the community in which you work(thats not to say you wont deal with good things either). Anything you can think of - is what you will be dealing with. If you've ever watched Cops, you have a very small idea of the things to come..... Hope that helps?
Police forces in the UK have a policy of recruiting an officer then allowing that officer to moving in to specialist field such as mounted police and dog handler etc. You will need to apply to a force and undertake the training to become an officer first then you move through training into probation period, normally a year then specialist opportunities occur
Yes. Investigating incidents that occur on campus is generally one of the duties of a school resource officer. As with all police interrogations, the student is not required to answer any of the officer's questions other than to truthfully give his name.
No. A police officer doesn't have to witness the assult to make the arrest. If the assault was of a Domestic Nature and the officers believe an assault occur he is required to make an arrest. The law 99-3-7 (3) uses the phrase "Shall" which gives the officer very little choice.
No
Did the crime just occur? Is the juvenile stopped on the street? Is the juvenile in custody? Unable to answer without more specific information about the event. (????)
Although it sounds simplistic, the basics of an initial police report should contain the following basic elements:WHO is the victim or complainaint?And - if the victim believes they know the perepetrator(s),WHO who does the victim believe committed the crime.WHAT was it that happened?WHEN did it occur?WHERE did it occur?HOW did it occur?The information gathered via the initial police report, usually taken by the first responding patrol officer, is perhaps the most important record that will impact upon the case since it 'frames' and identifies the offense which was perpetrated.Any investigative reports that follow, will simply build upon the basic framework of the intiial report.
Yes. As long as they are within their jurisdictional boundaries they may personally issue you a citation. Officers/Deputies/Troopers are on duty 24/7 and there certifications are maintained by the Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement. This said they must also stop to render aid or deter criminal offenses that occur in their presence. In Florida there is no such thing as "off duty."
I assume you mean to ask if a bankruptcy can keep you from being hired or certified as a police officer. The answer to this question is "yes." Police officers have to pass a thorough background investigation of their past. A bankruptcy filing can be evidence of handling money badly and not living within your means. Someone who lives beyond their means can be a target for bribery or blackmail, where they can't pass up the opportunity to get some extra money quickly. Once the officer has done a "small favor" (like looking the other way to permit a crime to occur, or getting confidential information from a police database) for someone, htat person can then threaten to expose them if they don't keep doing the "favors." This is one way that police corruption begins. Some bankruptcy circumstances are less damning than others. Be truthful about your background and take responsibility for your actions, but you can always explain situations that may not be as bad as they appear.
An on the spot fineAnother View: (in the US) Although this is a BIG country, I am not familiar with ANYWHERE in the nation that this should EVER occur. If it does it is an illegal shakedown, and the criminal charge can be 'Extortion.'
As a rule, police officers do not report civil violations after the fact or that they themselves did not witness when it relates to traffic violations (because it would be hearsay) if a police officer is trying to write up a ticket for an action on the previous day without proof through a radar instrument and he was off duty--THIS would be a great case to fight. Yes. If the officer can identify the car and driver then the citation is no different than any other citation. In most cases the officer has up to a year after the event to issue a citation. The fact that the officer felt the need to act while off duty might be seen as indication of exactly how egregious the violation was, because officers routinely ignore events while off duty. Something made this especially bad.
Probable cause to believe that an offense is, has, or is about to occur at a particular identifiable location. This is presented to a judge in writing, signed and sworn to by the applying officer (known as an affidavit), and if the judge agrees they issue a warrant.
Dark Figure of crime- Crime that is not reported to the police and that remains unknown to officials.
